Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Understand the Project

步骤1:了解项目

First, analyze the project to understand what it does:
  1. Read the README.md if it exists
  2. Check package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, or similar for project metadata
  3. Look at the main source files to understand core functionality
  4. Identify the key selling points and features
Summarize your understanding back to the user before proceeding.
首先,分析项目以了解其功能:
  1. 若存在README.md则进行阅读
  2. 查看package.json、Cargo.toml、pyproject.toml或类似文件获取项目元数据
  3. 查看主要源文件以理解核心功能
  4. 确定核心卖点和功能
在继续下一步前,将你的理解总结后反馈给用户。

Step 2: Ask for Video Style

步骤2:询问视频风格

Ask the user which video format they prefer:
  • Portrait (9x16) - Optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts (recommended for mobile-first audiences)
  • Landscape (16x9) - Optimized for YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn (recommended for professional/desktop audiences)
询问用户偏好的视频格式:
  • 竖屏(9x16) - 针对TikTok、Instagram Reels、YouTube Shorts优化(推荐面向移动优先受众)
  • 横屏(16x9) - 针对YouTube、Twitter/X、LinkedIn优化(推荐面向专业/桌面端受众)

Step 3: Extract Branding

步骤3:提取品牌元素

Automatically infer the project's branding by analyzing style files:
  1. CSS/SCSS files - Look for CSS custom properties (--primary-color, --brand-color, etc.), color definitions, and font-family declarations
  2. Tailwind config - Check tailwind.config.js/ts for theme colors and fonts
  3. Theme files - Look for theme.js, colors.js, tokens.json, or similar design token files
  4. Global styles - Check globals.css, app.css, index.css for consistent color usage
  5. Component libraries - Check for styled-components themes, MUI themes, or Chakra UI themes
  6. Assets - Look for logos in public/, assets/, or static/ folders (SVG, PNG)
Extract:
  • Primary and secondary colors
  • Accent colors
  • Font families (headings and body)
  • Logo files
If branding cannot be inferred, use a clean modern default palette with high contrast.
通过分析样式文件自动推断项目的品牌风格:
  1. CSS/SCSS文件 - 查找CSS自定义属性(--primary-color、--brand-color等)、颜色定义和font-family声明
  2. Tailwind配置 - 检查tailwind.config.js/ts中的主题颜色和字体
  3. 主题文件 - 查找theme.js、colors.js、tokens.json或类似的设计令牌文件
  4. 全局样式 - 检查globals.css、app.css、index.css中一致使用的颜色
  5. 组件库 - 检查styled-components主题、MUI主题或Chakra UI主题
  6. 资源文件 - 在public/、assets/或static/文件夹中查找logo(SVG、PNG格式)
提取内容:
  • 主色调和辅助色
  • 强调色
  • 字体(标题和正文)
  • Logo文件
若无法推断品牌风格,使用简洁现代的高对比度默认配色方案。

Step 4: Set Up Remotion Project

步骤4:搭建Remotion项目

Create the video infrastructure in a
video/
folder within the project:
bash
cd <project-root>
mkdir -p video
cd video
npx create-video@latest --template blank
If a video folder already exists with Remotion, use the existing setup.
在项目内的
video/
文件夹中创建视频基础架构:
bash
cd <project-root>
mkdir -p video
cd video
npx create-video@latest --template blank
若已存在包含Remotion的video文件夹,则使用现有配置。

Step 5: Create the Video Composition

步骤5:创建视频合成内容

Build the Remotion composition with these elements:
  1. Opening hook (first 2-3 seconds) - Grab attention with the problem statement or bold claim
  2. Product showcase - Show the key features with animated text and visuals
  3. Value proposition - Highlight what makes this project special
  4. Call to action - End with where to learn more (GitHub, website, etc.)
Use these Remotion best practices:
  • Use
    @remotion/transitions
    for smooth scene changes
  • Leverage
    spring()
    animations for natural motion
  • Keep text readable with proper contrast
  • Apply the extracted branding (colors, fonts, logo) consistently throughout
构建包含以下元素的Remotion合成视频:
  1. 开场钩子(前2-3秒)- 通过问题陈述或大胆断言吸引注意力
  2. 产品展示 - 用动画文字和视觉效果展示核心功能
  3. 价值主张 - 突出项目的独特之处
  4. 行动号召 - 结尾告知了解更多信息的渠道(GitHub、官网等)
遵循这些Remotion最佳实践:
  • 使用
    @remotion/transitions
    实现流畅的场景切换
  • 利用
    spring()
    动画实现自然的运动效果
  • 确保文字具有足够对比度以保证可读性
  • 在整个视频中一致应用提取的品牌元素(颜色、字体、Logo)

Step 6: Video Dimensions

步骤6:视频尺寸

Configure the composition based on user's choice:
Portrait (9x16):
typescript
export const config = {
  width: 1080,
  height: 1920,
  fps: 30,
};
Landscape (16x9):
typescript
export const config = {
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
};
根据用户选择配置合成参数:
竖屏(9x16):
typescript
export const config = {
  width: 1080,
  height: 1920,
  fps: 30,
};
横屏(16x9):
typescript
export const config = {
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
};

Step 7: Make it Interactive

步骤7:实现可交互性

Make the video template reusable and editable by adding a Zod schema:
  1. Define Schema: In
    Root.tsx
    , define a Zod schema for the customizable text/colors.
  2. Add Schema to Composition: Pass the schema and
    defaultProps
    to the
    <Composition />
    component.
  3. Start Studio: Instead of just rendering, offer to start the studio so the user can tweak the copy:
    bash
    cd video
    npm run dev
通过添加Zod模式使视频模板可复用和编辑:
  1. 定义模式:在
    Root.tsx
    中为可自定义的文本/颜色定义Zod模式。
  2. 将模式添加到合成组件:将模式和
    defaultProps
    传递给
    <Composition />
    组件。
  3. 启动Studio:不要仅进行渲染,而是建议用户启动Studio以调整文本:
    bash
    cd video
    npm run dev

Step 8: Render the Video

步骤8:渲染视频

After building the composition or letting the user tweak it:
bash
cd video
npx remotion render src/index.ts MainComposition out/promo.mp4
构建合成内容或让用户调整完成后:
bash
cd video
npx remotion render src/index.ts MainComposition out/promo.mp4

Step 9: Deliver

步骤9:交付成果

Provide the user with:
  • Path to the rendered video file
  • Instructions to edit: "You can tweak the text using the Remotion Studio:
    cd video && npm run dev
    "
  • Tips for re-rendering with different settings
向用户提供:
  • 渲染后的视频文件路径
  • 编辑说明:“你可以使用Remotion Studio调整文本:
    cd video && npm run dev
  • 不同设置下重新渲染的技巧

Design Guidelines

设计指南

Typography

排版

  • Use the project's fonts if extracted, otherwise bold sans-serif for headlines
  • Keep text on screen for at least 2 seconds
  • Maximum 6-8 words per text frame
  • Use text shadows or backgrounds for readability
  • 若已提取项目字体则使用,否则为标题选择粗体无衬线字体
  • 单帧文本在屏幕上停留至少2秒
  • 每帧文本最多6-8个单词
  • 使用文本阴影或背景提升可读性

Layout

布局

  • Avoid full-width "label" pills when inside CSS Grid: set
    justifySelf: "start"
    or wrap with
    display: inline-flex
    +
    width: "fit-content"
    to prevent stretching
  • 在CSS Grid中避免全宽“标签”胶囊样式:设置
    justifySelf: "start"
    或用
    display: inline-flex
    +
    width: "fit-content"
    包裹以防止拉伸

Animation

动画

  • Fast pace for hooks (0.3-0.5s transitions)
  • Slightly slower for information (0.5-1s transitions)
  • Use easing functions for professional feel
  • 开场钩子使用快节奏(0.3-0.5秒过渡)
  • 信息展示部分节奏稍慢(0.5-1秒过渡)
  • 使用缓动函数提升专业感

Color

色彩

  • High contrast for mobile viewing
  • Stick to 2-3 main colors
  • Use the extracted brand colors from the project's CSS/theme files
  • 为移动端观看提供高对比度
  • 仅使用2-3种主色调
  • 使用从项目CSS/主题文件中提取的品牌颜色

Audio Considerations

音频注意事项

  • Design assuming video may be watched on mute
  • Use visual cues instead of relying on audio
  • If adding music, ensure it's royalty-free
  • 按静音观看的场景设计视频
  • 使用视觉提示而非依赖音频
  • 若添加音乐,确保为免版税音乐
